Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky says most regions of the country were recently attacked by the Russian Army.
He said about 1,310 Russian guided aerial bombs, over 1,000 attack drones, mostly “Shaheds”, and 9 missiles of various types, including ballistic ones, were launched into Ukraine in the past one week.
Zelensky, who confirmed this in a statement on his official X handle on Sunday, however, said a significant number of the weapons “were successfully shot down by our air defense warriors, mobile fire groups, and all units involved in protecting our skies”.
Confirming Saturday’s strike on Kharkiv, Zelensky said the attack “sadly took the lives of two people”.
Zelensky noted that Russia is dragging out the war, adding that Ukraine will continue to provide its “partners with full information on the strikes the Russian army is carrying out and the actions it is preparing for”.
“We expect a response from the United States, Europe and all our allies to this terror against our people,” he added.
The president thanked “all the leaders and states who understand this and continue their support”, stressing that the “stability and predictability of support for Ukraine are crucial”.
